“What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.”

It’s not the world that needs to change – it’s our consciousness we must raise.

Be a star not a diva!

If you listen quietly enough life will whisper its secrets to you.

Take a walk outside – it will serve you far more than pacing around in your mind.

Tomorrow’s leaders will not lead dictating from the front, nor pushing from the back. They will lead from the centre – from the heart.

Your job is to do your job with all your heart to the best of your ability. Life will go it’s own merry way at it’s own pace. But if you do then you – and life – will be the richer for you being here.

Throw your arms around the world and hold on tight. But not through fear but because of your love.

The reason that so many fail to find happiness is that they fail to find gratitude.

I’ve no interest in being thought provoking. Who needs more thoughts. I’d rather go down as one who is thought disposing.

The world is already yours – why try to conquer it?

It’s not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

Odd how we focus on studying wars at at school to form our ‘education’. No wonder we know so little about making and forging peace as adults.

The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers

Live your life, sing your song. Not full of expectations. Not for the ovations. But for the joy of it.

First one must understand conditioning – only then can we speak of choice

The land of possibility is a better place to make your home than the realm of expectation will ever be.

Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

I don’t discuss women at all with anyone. There are good qualities in all women. Some may be lacking in some of these qualities and should have them. I’m liable to say so and hurt their feelings, and it wouldn’t be meant that way at all.

I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully – through me, a little – the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

You feel like home, and everywhere I’ve never been all at once.

Don’t use your brain to play it, let your feelings guide your fingers.

Natural bodies are divided into three kingdomes of nature: viz. the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling.

Being in the studio is my absolute favorite thing.

I feel blurry as a reflection in water.
